• Your full name
• Your UNAPortal ID (your login name)

In your email, be sure to include a description of your problem:

• What is your error message or what is happening?
• Are you having issues on a specific device or on multiple devices?
• What kind of device have you tried (desktop, laptop, mobile device)?
• Which browsers have you tried?
• What were you doing when you received the error message?

If you are on campus, you may call the IT Services HelpDesk at ext 4865. From off campus, dial (256) 765-4865.

• The Banner System is shut down the each Saturday (generally, between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM (Noon)) for security patches, upgrades, and more detailed maintenance.

• Go to  
• You can also go to  and click on the Canvas link at the top of the page.
• You can also use the app links provided in the answer to "Is Canvas Available for Mobile Devices?".

• I.e., if your UNA email address is someone@una.edu, your username is "someone"

The Canvas app is available in the Google Play and iTunes stores:

• We have 24 computer labs available to students. For details on where they are located, visit the link below:
  •  

• Duo Push – if you have the Duo Mobile App installed on your smartphone or tablet, you can receive a push notification. From the app, you can approve or deny the login attempt.
• Passcodes – You can receive a passcode by the UNA logo in the Duo Mobile App, this does not require any wireless connectivity.
• Phone Call – you can receive a phone call on your mobile phone or landline phone. The call will give instructions on approving or denying the login attempt.  This option is not available for all applications.
• Hardware Tokens – You can utilize hardware token (such as those made by Yubikey or Feitian) to provide your second factor of authentication.  Generally, tokens that are FIDO certified are best and should work.

Duo is required for all UNA employees and students across many applications. Duo is required all new Single Sign On (SSO) connections and for certain applications like Banner, VPN, UNAPortal, and direct deposit changes.

Alumni and Retirees will use Microsoft authentication options to access their e-mail.  For more information, please see the questions below regarding Alumni and Retirees.

You can set up Duo from your phone. Rather than scanning the QR code, you can simply have Duo email you an activation link to finish setting up your account. More information, and screenshots, are available on our activation tutorial.

If you opt-out of the Duo Mobile Application push notifications, there are other options to utilize as your second verification method.

• Passcodes via Duo Mobile App– If you have the Duo Mobile app installed, you can receive a single passcode by tapping the UNA logo in the mobile app. This code must be used immediately.

Selecting this option will allow you to bypass Duo authentication for the next 30 days. This only works if you are logging in from the same computer, IP address, and browser. You will still be prompted to verify once – with your username and password. You will not be able to access your settings on that particular browser during the 30 days. Please note that if you have tools or policies running that regularly delete or clean cookies, the remember me feature will not work. If you do need to access your settings (perhaps to add another device) just try another browser. Remember me will not work if your browser is set to private browsing mode. Remember me will also not work if you have enabled autopush. If you’d like to disable autopush, follow these instructions.

If you have forgotten or lost your device, please contact the helpdesk via email at helpdesk@una.edu or call 256.765.4865.  We want to ensure someone else does not maliciously authenticate your account with your device.

Duo is available to all students, as well as employees.

To use this option, visit the Duo app on your smartphone, and tap the key icon to obtain a passcode. Enter the passcode into the Duo prompt when logging into a Duo-protected UNA site.

Additionally, hardware tokens do not require WiFi or cellular capabilities.  However, a hardware token is a physical device that you must carry.  Also, depending on the type of token, you may need a computer to approve access with it.

Applications and services must have Duo enabled individually. All new single sign on (SSO) applications are configured to use Duo/MFA.  Additionally, the following applications use Duo.

• Canvas
• VPN
• UNAPortal
• Self-Service Banner
• Administrative Banner
• iContracts
• Microsoft 365

Select the red X to deny access to your account, then promptly change your UNAPortal password immediately.

You have several choices when traveling abroad. Be sure to test them out before your travels so you can determine which solution is best for you.

• If you have your two-factor authentication device with you, you can use it as normal.

• A hardware token is also a secure method to confirm your identity.  While it generally does not require WiFi or cellular access, it is a physical device that must be secured and retained.
